** Description changed: + WORKAROUND + --------------------------- + Install klipper or glipper + + -------------------------------------------- + This bug is an Epic Fail, because it's 2009 and still we do not *fully* support trivial things like copy/paste. Fortunately this works well in KDE. This -could- be the underlying cause of bug #7986. This is a general issue that seems to be independant of any individual program. Pick any text field that supports copying, copy some text. Paste into any other text field. It works. Close the source window or program. Paste now does nothing. The example I just verified this with is gedit to gedit. Also occurs with openoffice to gedit. In some cases, like OpenOffice and Firefox, simply closing the source window won't cause the problem. It only happens if the entire program is closed down. When I copy (Ctrl + C, or right click and "Copy") text from somewhere and after that close the program where it is, the clipboard gets empty. This bug will happen in any application that doesn't comply with the clipboard specification from FreeDesktop. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ClipboardManager Actual Status : Not fixed : Xorg : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25220 OpenOffice : http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63092 GIMP | GTK+ : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510230 Gnucash : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510205 Fixed : Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird (Xulrunner) : Fixed in 1.9.3 trunk https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311340 Evolution : Fixed in 2.29 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258374 Pidgin : Fixed Inkscape : Fixed Gedit : Fixed Most Gnome apps, Fixed
